Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (450 grams) cream cheese
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup heavy cream
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter into a cohesive mixture, pressing firmly into a 9-inch springform pan with precision.
- Toast the crust at 325F (165C) for 10 minutes, allowing it to cool completely and develop a rich, golden base.
- Transform cream cheese into a silky canvas by beating until impeccably smooth and free of lumps.
- Infuse the cream cheese with marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform, luxurious texture.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff, billowy peaks that stand tall and maintain structural integrity.
- Delicately integrate the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using gentle folding techniques to preserve the airiness and prevent deflation.
- Transfer the ethereal filling onto the cooled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula to create a flawless, even landscape.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours, allowing it to set and develop its signature creamy consistency.
- Before serving, embellish with fresh berries or elegant chocolate shavings to elevate the visual and flavor profile.
Notes
- Crust Perfection: Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to press graham cracker mixture evenly, creating a compact and uniform base that won’t crumble when slicing.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure cream cheese is exactly room temperature for smooth blending, preventing lumpy texture and guaranteeing a silky-soft cheesecake.
- Folding Technique: When incorporating whipped cream, use gentle bottom-to-top circular motions to maintain airiness and prevent deflating the delicate mixture.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour cookies for celiac-friendly version, and use dairy-free cream cheese for vegan option.
